I think it will be an stretched RB5 with a touch of Gil influence.

question

are you guys running chassis level or bones level or arms level in the rear? I seem to be having ride height issues...or so it feels that way with the bones.

I run arms level in the front and bones level in the rear. The arms will be below level if you are running the hubs all the way down.

i've got the arms on the top hole on the hub, light yellow springs and the collars to the bottom of the threads and it just looks like the car is a hair low in the rear...or maybe it just looks that way....maybe i should check it again
